If it rains down there today/tomorrow, do you think there'll be problems with mud and the entrance this year? I heard years past have been apain in the butt with people getting stuck in the mud trying to get in..

it's nothing like that down there now, is it?

I know what you are talking about. In '10, the I-24 tollbooth was a mess on Thursday morning. I made it through alright surprisingly, but I saw multiple cars barely make it or getting stuck in the mud. Two guys in a small hatchback had to jump out and push their car through ankle deep mud.

Edit: I think it had been raining a bunch before Roo in '10, but I could be wrong.

I arrived Wednesday around 6:00 in 2010 and it was CRAZY sideways rain on the way in. I had to drive because it was so bad that my two friends were too afraid to take the wheel. It had stopped raining by the time we got to the farm and made it in ten minutes before it started torrential downpouring there. After that rain: MUDAROOO. We got the tent and EZ Up JUST in time.

If there is a ton of rain maybe. I'm in Hattiesburg, MS and we need rain sooo bad! If it's anything like that in Manchester the ground is going to just soke it up. If anything it may help to keep the dust down.

Ya- I hope it does rain, don't get me wrong, I just hope it doesnt slow things down..

then again, pushing cars through the mud sounds like fun right?

I remember that mud. People had to push the little go-kart taxis out of that sludge multiple times.

There was a massive amount of flooding in Middle Tennessee in early May 2010, so that probably played a role.

it has rained a bit int he area the last two days. nothing major. the biggest thing is our ground has been really dry so it should soak it up quickly. with sunny skies today and tomorrow, we all should be good to go!

The temps look good if there is no humidity, but if it is 85-90 with humidity, its gonna feel hot as quack. The best thing about these outlooks is that they look nothing like last years. Shake your tail feathers. my name is nelson, and I like to dance.

nashville forecast as of this morning...if I was y'all, I would just be checking the nashville forecasts and quit fooling with these national services...wsmv, wtvf, and wkrn are the 3 main nashville TV stations, so I would rely more on those than anything else...still looks yummy!

don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there is a local middle-TN dude who posts great weather forecast on twitter. he was voted best weatherman or something by the nashville scene a year ago and provides local forecasts for davidson county (nashville).

this year he started up a twitter feed for bonnaroo specifically. he's always been pretty spot on. so if you want to get your weather on, scope dude out!
